Billy just got done watching the latest video.   Well done.

In 2021 we need to meet in person and shoot that rifle.

Bill,

Finally got enough internet bandwidth to watch some of the videos.  Cool stuff!  I agree with Snapper, would like to shoot that puppy in 2021!

Ah shoot you are going to make me watch the next one to see if you get the butt plate off.

Good job.

Liked the comment about the hot babe with tattoos.

The butt plate does come off. But it was a bit of work.

I live with a good looking girl that used to be a tattoo artist. She still does it sometimes. Entirely covered in tattoos. I like it. But she don't like ti if I wake her up when she is trying to sleep.

   I figured this project would stir up a bit of interest, but it has just gotten crazy. This is my gun. Not going up for sale. I wanted one of these since reading all those adventure stories when I was about 16 years old. I'm finally getting one. I have gotten a few offers to buy it already. Some of them have actually been for real money. No. Not selling.

   Talking to someone tonight that wants to buy it. Not selling. Sorry. So he wants me to build one for him. I don't do any custom work. Sorry. Told him I will probably make another one sometime but I got a few other projects I want to do first so it will probably be a few years. I have an actual job so it takes me a while to finish one of these. Well not right now. I got laid off from the virus nonsense about a week ago but I will get another job after holidays. No big deal. Good story on that one. Anyway, I will likely make another one some time and put it up for sale when it is finished. He don't want to wait a few years and offered me $35,000 for it right now. It is not even finished yet. Told him no. Not for sale. Sorry. Starting to think that I might have to build another one sooner than I planned on.

Any of you other guys ever run into this sort of thing?

Sell it and start making one for you ASAP.  Take a few weeks off working and finish the two rifles

I'm with Snapper.  Your YouTube presence has drawn someone willing to pay you fair money in exchange for your work.  I say sell it.  Use the money to build yourself one.  Who knows, you may just turn your hobby into a career and never have to get another job.  I'm saying this as a guy under 40 who owns 3 company's.  All of them were hobbies that have turned into VERY profitable businesses.  My "job" is to drive around and cash the checks, praise my employees and enjoy my "hobby"!  It's worth considering.
